View Full Version : NT heart attack at the LCS today

LCS had a fresh case of NT on the shelf. After hearing the first case had ZERO RPAs in it, I had to try and see if this case was loaded.

I bought a box and emptied all of the cards from the pack at. I tried not to look, but I saw the bottom card in the back had a Texans logo on the back of it as I removed the cards.

The box was pretty average and I get to the last card.

I start to slow roll the top card away and see this:

My heart is racing!




I grab my phone so I can capture a video and celebratory yelling of all of the other patrons watching me open this.

My brain quickly starts to think what I am going to do with all of this money after I sell this Watson emerald RPA???



Do wifey and I go on a nice vacation?

Maybe I pay off the rest of my car loan.

You know, I have been looking at nice LeBron Topps Chrome Black Refractor thats been for sale on here, maybe I will just buy that.

Nope. I am going to do the right thing and use the sales money and put it in my newborns college fund.

Yep, that's my plan. Money spent before I have even have it in hand.



Slow roll gets slower.




Sweat gets thicker.




BOOM! DeShaun Watson Rookie Patch Auto Emerald Green!!!!!!!!!

I had a similar story once. I was opening 12-13 National Treasures basketball (Kyrie Irving RPA year). Last box of the case, been getting killed so far, but I see a Cavs logo on the bottom card.

Slow pull, Cavs patch, and slowly pull it aside...........

BOOM...............

This happened to me (and tons of others I'm sure) in 2012 all the time with all the Colts cards that weren't Andrew Luck.

Haha, this is possibly my favorite post in blowout forum history!

I know that feeling and it sucks, I'll always think back to this post next time it happens to me!

I don't think your kid can go to a very good college with those 10s of dollars you'll get from the sale lol

Great story!

LOL

same thing happened to me at a Target when I pulled an autographed jersey card of a Browns player back in 2014. Saw the picture, it's a QB...was about to pass out thinking it was Johnny Manziel...and it's Conor Shaw. LOL!!!!
